Mixed emotions for Kerry captain Aislinn Desmond

IT was the first Sunday of April when Kerry skipper, Aislinn Desmond, felt the snap in her left knee.

The Kingdom were playing Monaghan in a Lidl ladies’ National Football League division 1 clash. After falling to the ground, Desmond knew there was damage.

The injury was a grade-two medial ligament tear and Desmond was ruled out for six weeks. So, the 27-year-old Rathmore star will be a frustrated spectator in Birr tomorrow, when Kerry tackle in-form Mayo in the Division 1 semi-final.
